My writing learning story

In writing I have been learning to write my own piece of narrative writing. The success criteria that I have been using for my writing is was using a hook to get the reader interested in my story and using descriptive language and dialogue to show but not tell the reader what is happening in my story.

Here is a piece of writing I'd like to share...

I heard a whisper,but no one was there.

Last week when I came back from school. As I walked through the door I could hear a whisper floating slowly past my ear. I didn't  move. I didn't even breathe. I just froze like ice.

So I  slowly walked around. Looking through each room but no one was there. When i was playing on my phone. I could hear the whisper.

But it  was Louder than  before  it was echoing From the kitchen.

So when i went to go and see who was there. But it was Just the wind coming through the open window.

This is my swimming learning story......

When I first walked into the Cannons Creek swimming pools, it smelled like bleached liquid.  As I safely got into the pools it felt cold at first and then I quickly got used to it in just a minute.

We were learning safety ways  to survive in deep areas of the ocean or other parts of the water. We were also learning new swimming skills so we can get better at our swimming.

My goal now I need to achieve is my breathing skills in the water. That is also my next steps. This is how I can achieve my goal. By learning new breathing skills so it is easier for me for when I hop into the water.  Overall my swimming experience was fun and awesome with our great support from my groups swimming instructors for my last year at Corinna School.

Reading Learning story

During reading time, we have been learning about Myths and Legends to help us write our own narrative stories. The success criteria I was focusing on was using a interesting hook to keep the reader entertained till the end.

Here is an example...

Long ago there lived a girl named Tina. Every morning Tina and her friends would go fishing and hunting.  But one particular morning they noticed that the sun was setting faster than usual, making it hard for them to gather fish and meat for the village.

So one day Tina and her friends made a plan to hunt down the sun and slow it down.  

So that evening we jumped into our waka and paddled down stream and walk over the rocky mountains and through the wild forest, until we reached the sun's house, where the sun was sleeping.

Tina and her friends pulled out there magical net and threw it over the sun and said a special karakia, two slow the sun down.

The next morning, when the sun  stayed high in the sky and Tina and her friend were able to fish and hunt all day and not worry about the sun setting early.

This is one of the school Journal book that I am reading . The name is The buttons.....

This Is My kapahaka 2016
Every Thursday mornings we have kapahaka  with  Whaea Clair and Mature Todd. Every time I go to kapahaka I always show discipline to them,if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be understanding the words that they have taught me.

I love kapahaka it makes me, feel like i belong and loving learning different waiata and poi.

I am looking forward to showing our kapahaka performance.

My next steps is to show respect keep my mouth close and all times when they are talking.

My year 8 leavers book.

My favourite memory at Corinna School is meeting new friends and getting help from the teachers and learning new things.

I wish that I've been a good role model for little kids. Sometimes I teach Aoha Teina fitness. I show them how to play fitness games and how to work as a team. I am kind to them and give them lots of encouragement.

I will never forget how nice and kind I was for most of the year! I will never forget my friends and tumeke sister's, and how we always get into trouble together, go places with each other and celebrate our birthdays.

I would like to thank Teachers and friends for helping me achieve. I will also miss my friends and how we always get in trouble together and the fun we had...

Technology Learning Story

Every Wednesday afternoon, we head over to Brandon Intermediate. They give us a variety of activities such as hard materials, music, sewing and cooking.This Term I participate in cooking with Ms Faine.

Ms Faine teaches us different sets of food such as apple crumble, salad sandwiches with chicken and pizza.

What I enjoyed in cooking was when we made butter chicken and rice with bread, also because I learnt how to bake and improve my baking skills.

My reflection about learing maths in a group

When I am working in a group in maths, I am  good at speaking clearly and asking questions when I don't understand something.

I've got better at sharing my ideas with others. I felt good and sometimes it is exciting when you get two learn with different people.

I still need to work on friendly arguing in maths.

When I work in a group I feel happy when I get more ideas from people.

2016 maths
In Maths The Purpose: is to establish interesting,information about the members of our learning team.

and also we have to work as a team-sharing our ideas and taking risk In our learn.  In  maths I have been learn to be confidence and by asking people for help when I  get stuck. I like maths because I have more interest in maths like problem solving by using a hundred chart. My next steps are to learn my time tables and to add up to 100
